SchedulingHello everyone. I hope you are all staying safe and occupied. Over the coming days, I will be posting the Pearl City Course Guide here on my page. I will also be sending emails to students that have not met with me for scheduling. We were able to meet with some students prior to closing but not with everyone. In these emails, I will be listing the courses that are required or recommended by staff and then a list of possible options for your student and a I may make suggestions as well. Take the time to look things over and respond to me with the direction you would like to go in. This process may be a little slower than normal bit I also see positive ways to engage in conversations as we move forward. All of the requested schedules are just that. We will make the Master Schedule once requests have been submitted and if something your student requested does not fit due to the Master Schedule, we will go through this process again. I appreciate all of your help and your patience as we move forward with scheduling for next school year!
